FOUNDATIONS IN EDUCTION
Discuss how each of the foundation areas provide needed insights for librarians in their efforts to create and sustain a learning community in schools.
According to Speck (1999) in Schools as Professional Learning Communities (2008) “a school learning community is one that promotes and values learning as an ongoing, active collaboration process with dynamic dialogue by teachers, students, staff, principal, parents and the school community to improve the quality of learning and life within the school” (pg 7). All the members of the learning community are responsible for building the community to encourage and enhance learning in the school as a whole. The learning community inspires the personal growth and development of all its members. The learning community should be centered in the classroom but also extend to the wider school and into the community where all members are engaged in similar activities. The aim of the learning community is for all members to become actively involved so that the students are motivated to learn, develop better, think creatively and have originality in thought.
Foundation areas are core areas in the growth and development of a school librarian, which allows the new role of the teacher librarian to develop a learning community to motivate students to learn. The main goal of the foundation areas are to develop creative, critical and original...

...the student if for sure going to trust the teacher making it easier for the student to pay attention. A great teacher is also a life long learner.
A life long learner is always involved in the community. Whether it be helping with a charity event or helping pick up trash on a highway, this person is always willing to help and play a big role in his community. Being involved in the community is a great way to learn. The teacher will also get his students involved in the community. This is an exciting way to learn. A life long learner also uses technology to grow their mind. Technology can teach us more than we ever could imagine. This person realizes this and uses technology to keep their mind sharp even when they are done with their education. The more the teacher learns about technology the more he can use it in the classroom, creating an exciting environment! A life long learner also models good deeds. This person is a great example to everyone he meets. He tries to always do the right thing. This person would be on time to his meeting, he would use nice language, he would dress appropriately, etc. He is one many people look up to and is respected by all. The educator would also encourage and teach his students to do the same. Finally a life long learner invites others to learn by being a good example. This person shows others how exciting learning can really be. This person would not just visit a museum on the weekend, but he would invite his students to...

History of Special Education
Top
Home > Library > History, Politics & Society > Education Encyclopedia
Special education, as its name suggests, is a specialized branch of education. Claiming lineage to such persons as Jean-Marc-Gaspard Itard (1775 - 1838), the physician who "tamed" the "wild boy of Aveyron," and Anne Sullivan Macy (1866 - 1936), the teacher who "worked miracles" with Helen Keller, special educators teach those students who have physical, cognitive, language, learning, sensory, and/or emotional abilities that deviate from those of the general population. Special educators provide instruction specifically tailored to meet individualized needs, making education available to students who otherwise would have limited access to education. In 2001, special education in the United States was serving over five million students.
Although federally mandated special education is relatively new in the United States, students with disabilities have been present in every era and in every society. Historical records have consistently...

...Philosophy Of Education
What is the goal or the purpose of education? What is education for?
My definition of education would be to learn or to gain knowledge of something
through the teaching of others or through ones self. One of the definitions from
the Webster's dictionary states that education is the activities of educating or
instructing or teaching, activities that impart knowledge or skill. Both
definitions of education appeal me the most important two words that deals with education are teach and learn. My first introduction here will be about the teaching process of education. Why do we teach? By definition Teachers are leaders, and simply put: leaders lead.
Teachers lead their students through and to the path of knowledge. According to the Foundation Of Education text "Teachers also demonstrate leadership by working with others and modeling desirable behaviors." Teachers are paid to teach and that is a fact, but in most instances, teachers goal is to educate students for better, highly recognized and progressive professions that will and in many instances, pay the students more than what the teachers themselves are being paid for teaching them.
Why do we learn? We learn to gain knowledge, to comprehension, or mastery of something through experience or study. Basically we become...

...course of American education to a degree that the developments made during and after the lifetimes of each of these figures are practically manifested in today's educational environment. In some cases, as with Franklin, much of his contribution was practical, with the establishment of public libraries and emphasis on self-education. Others, such as Dewy, were ideological pioneers that changed the methods of education. One can never overlook the role of politics in American Education; the regulation of education and the presence of Patriotic/Nationalist agendas in curriculum are still issues that we face today, those who played a significant role in the establishment of the current system also influence the fundamental goals and outcomes of that system.
Benjamin Franklin is heralded as one of the greatest American philosophers as well as one of the most influential figures in American history. His fundamental desire for education and self-improvement would set an example for others to follow as well as establish a model for the educated American. He was also a major proponent of schools as both an ideological tool for indoctrinating members of other religions, as well as a method for assimilation of other races and cultures into the white Anglo model. We are still struggling as a culture to undo the influence of those who followed this model. Practices of exclusion, segregation,...

...Question: Choose one nursing theory and explain its relevance to nursing practice by presenting its key points through the different phases of the nursing process.
Today, nurses are becoming sensitive to and knowledgeable about cultural differences and similarities in people’s care. They must recognize the values of all cultures, races and ethnic groups and respond to these differences. Increasing diversity and mobility of society accentuate an important need for professional nurses to render holistic, culturally competent nursing care. To be culturally competent, nurses must first be culturally aware and sensitive. Nurses are awaking to the critical need to become more knowledgeable and culturally competent to work with individuals from diverse cultures.
The assessment step of the nursing process is extremely important in inter ethnic relationships between patients and nurses. To gather data about a patient of a culture different from the nurse's, the nurse needs to view the patient in the contexts within which he exists. For instance, as proposed by Giger and Davidhizer (1991), there are six cultural phenomena that affect health care and communication is one. Regarding the communication measure, miscommunication is a frequent problem in hospitals. The most obvious is when the patient and hospital staff does not speak the same language. There are often terms that others use which have different meanings to them. It is very important for nurses to be understood by...
